Questions

What BPM is The Whip?

205 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is The Whip hard to play on drums?

71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 22 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

91 bars, about 1:48 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 37 exercises over 14 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in The Whip?

15 fills to learn, played 26 times: bars 1, 4, 5, 10, 11, 14 and 20 more.
